| Sumario: | Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the craniofacial features of untreated Class III and Class I malocclusions in Malay male subjects. Method: A 50 Malay male subjects who were elected between 8 to 27 years old. The cephalograms were selected from the archive at the School of Dental Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia. This study composed of 35 untreated Class III malocclusion and 15 untreated Class I malocclusion Malay male subjects. Result: The results showed gonial angle and ramus plane to SN were larger in Class III malocclusion than in Class I malocclusion subjects whereas A-B to palatal plane distance was more significant in Class I malocclusion and significantly different from Class III malocclusion. No significant difference between Class III and I malocclusion for the rest of the variables. Conclusion: The study concluded that Class III malocclusion Malay male subjects have high angle skeletal characteristics while the anteroposterior relationship suggests that Malay males with Class III malocclusion have a relatively retrusive maxilla compared to mandible. |
